在今天New York Times的一则新闻里看到的俚语，觉得很有趣分享给大家 :) 原文连结 http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/17/business/17econ.html?hp There's not enough lipstick to put on a pig. 在文章中的意思接近中文 [牛牵到北京还是牛]，或是无论做什麽去粉饰太平，都无法 掩饰事物原来的面貌。 以下是 urban dictionary 的解释 http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lipstick%20on%20a%20pig Slang for when someone tries to dress something up, but is still that something. Usually used on ugly broads, when they put on a skirt and some lipstick and well, they still look like the same digusting pig. -- *~ No matter what happens, Never lose your childish innocence.
